Three PhD student positions in Geometry Assurance

 Do you want to become a PhD in a stimulating research environment, accelerate the transformation towards a more resource efficient and sustainable industry, and become a part of the global research community? We will now extending our research team with three PhD students in the area of simulation and geometry assurance. The successful candidates should be willing to participate in the courses given by the department in the mechanical engineering program. We search for independent and creative persons capable of planning and carrying out own research.

Information about the research group
The Geometry Assurance & Robust Design Group, at the department of Industrial and Materials Sciences (IMS) and Wingquist Laboratory, conducts research on assembly modelling and analysis, robust design, variation simulation, tolerance optimization, heat transfer and use of inspection data for product and process control. The group consists of five senior researchers and 10-15 postdocs and PhD students. The research group has over the last decade produced a number of scientific results that have been transferred into commercial software products, today used in daily operation by a large number of engineers at several international companies. The research group has a large industrial network.

Major responsibilities
The three PhD candidate positions are focusing on:

AM-based remanufacturing: The focus of this project is to further develop a novel method for efficient and accurate simulation of additive manufacuring (AM) processes, drastically reducing calculation times compared to today’s high-fidelity FE-based methods. The method will be implemented in an existing simulation platform, developed by the research group and partly in use by industrial partners. The method will be used in a digital twin context together with the real AM equipment. The results will be physically verified on industrial test cases together with our industrial partners.

Geometry assurance for Megacasting: The focus of this project is to identify sources of variation, develop methods for simulation of geometrical deviation, and propose a geometry assurance process for megacasted products. The method will be implemented in an existing simulation platform, developed by the research group and partly in use by industrial partners.

Geometry assurance for Battery Production: The focus of this project is to identify sources of variation, develop methods for simulation of geometrical deviation, and propose a geometry assurance process for battery design and manufacture. The method will be implemented in an existing simulation platform, developed by the research group and partly in use by industrial partners.

The research will be conducted and verified together with our industrial partners.

Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.

Qualifications
To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a Master degree in engineering or mathematics, preferably with courses in FEA analysis and thermo-mechanical modelling. You need to be fluent in English and be able to produce high-quality written documents.
If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.

PhD student position in Doping of Conjugated Polymers for Wearable Electronics

 A PhD student position is available in the research group of Christian Müller at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Chalmers University of Technology. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student who will develop new materials for wearable electronics. Your project will be part of the ERC funded project "Electrical Modulation of Elastic Moduli" (Elmo).

Project description
The Müller Research Group focuses on the physical chemistry and materials science of organic semiconductors, polymer blends and composites, and develops new plastic materials for wearable electronics and energy technologies ranging from solar cells and thermoelectrics to power cables. All research is conducted in co-operation with other universities/institutes and/or industry. Presently, the group consists of 1 Professor, 1 senior scientist, 3 Postdocs and 8 PhD students.

Molecular doping is widely used to modify the electrical properties of conjugated polymers, necessary for a wide range of applications ranging from organic solar cells and thermoelectrics to wearable electronics. The goal of your research will be to understand how molecular doping influences the mechanical properties of conjugated polymers. You will then use the knowledge gained to develop conducting materials and fibers and use those for the fabrication of electronic textile devices. You will work closely with several PhD students and postdocs at Chalmers as well as other universities in Sweden and abroad. There will be the opportunity to travel and visit labs of external collaborators.

Major responsibilities
The majority of your working time is devoted to your own research, in collaboration with PhD students and postdocs at Chalmers as well as other universities in Sweden and abroad. As a PhD student you are expected to develop your own ideas and communicate scientific results orally as well as in writing. In addition, 10 percent of your time will be dedicated to departmental duties, especially teaching on the undergraduate level.

Qualifications
The successful candidate must have a Master’s degree in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science or equivalent (or be in the process of completing a Master’s degree). Experience with polymer science and organic electronics is required; experience with molecular doping is a merit. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the work, the candidate is expected to have excellent collaboration skills. A very good capability of communicating scientific results in English, both orally and in writing is required.

Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of 4 years of fulltime research studies.

We offer
Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg.
